She knows the stuff! They also carry gunpla bases. They don't have many kits at the moment, though. They also carry many other model kits, such as planes, ships, and cars. I also had a bunch of board games! The store is small, but it is packed with a lot of stuff! If you have patience and want to support this business, this is the spot!

I have been going to Viking Hobby Store for over thirty years. If there is a model,…read morea historic game, literature, model supplies that you are looking for, chances are Viking Hobby has it in stock. If not they can most likely find and order it. They have a great selection of existing aircraft, car, armor, figures, games, table top war gaming supplies and many OOP kits. There is so much packed in that little store. If you have never been to a small novelty Hobby store, this is the one you need to visit and experience. I highly recommend this place.

Was in town on business, and wanted to stop by one of the most popular spots for electronic…read morehobbies. This place is ALL HOBBIES! They're known for their extensive (--VERY EXTENSIVE--) RC Hobby equipment and supplies.... And that's what I came for. Came in looking for things that I thought I could only find online upgrade parts for Arrma Mojave Grom and Granite Grom. Was looking for different covers and axle rods. They had what I was looking for! Also, saw a ton of aftermarket parts for ALL scales of Rock Crawlers, and the cars to g with them... I stared at one of them too long, and the sales-tech shoved the crawler in my hand and ushered me over to the rock crawl stage, in the middle of the store... I had a blast! Prior to my experience with this rock crawler, I had my research set on a different type... the hands-on experience helped me make a great choice. I picked one up a week later, for my grandkids. (Today) I saw and perused a LOT... yes, transmitters, receivers, planes, trains, automobiles...dolls, bears, think toys, frisbees, electronic and steam hobby... and even more Toy Hobby, not just crafts... Toy Hobby. I haven't seen such variety of beginner/intermediate/advanced electronic and toy hobby in one place. This. Place. Has. It. ALL. If you don't have a hobby going in, you can definitely leave with one, or two. Well worth the visit to get your hands, and set eyes on the hobby you're looking into!

I had no idea this place existed but it's so fun! There is so much to look at. Everything from…read moretrains to robots and everything in-between. Lots of fun toys and hobby stuff for all ages. They even had some vintage Star Wars stuff which I was excited about. I will most definitely be back. The staff were very nice and helpful. Prices were reasonable and they have such a huge variety of things there's pretty much something for everyone.

My favorite Game store in Sacramento…read more It contains a large catalog of card, board, strategy and miniature games that will appeal to a casual laymen, a beginner, or the serious die hard enthusiast. There are 2 parts to this large store, the showroom area with all the games, miniatures for your perusing and purchasing pleasure. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable and helpful in recommending a game you may like, or answering inquiries into availability or ordering a game they may not have in stock. The 2d part is large game room that is stocked with games you can test out, or just come in with your friends, or meet new friends and try them out. They publish a monthly schedule of tournaments, contests, or just open game playing. On this occaision, I came to one of the Semi Annual flea market bazaars, where anyone could sign up, for a small fee , get a space to sell their older games , or maybe crafts. There is No fee to be a shopper st the bazaar, so you can find some good deals on games, miniatures, cards, books, terrain, storage or dice. I scored a Zombicide game that was unpunched at a great price for my son & I to play. All in all, just a great store for any game enthusiast of every age from beginners to the hard core gamer.

Truthfully, I really don't think we have anything down there that compares to the size, selection, and value at Great Escape. This place was awesome! There's just so much to look at! Friendly customer service, great choice selection of games and tools, and if you sign up for their rewards at the register you get $2 off. I'm a new 40k enthusiast and really enjoyed hanging around here. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable. Their prices are reasonable and if you're someone who's interested in painting miniatures and all- definitely give this place a shot. They have everything you need here... you've got plenty of options. It's a pretty big establishment, the only weird thing is that it's hidden tucked away on the backside of the building. I went on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to exploring more of Sac's gaming scene.

I happened upon this store thanks to a recommendation from the kind folks at Hammerhead Games…read more Unbeknownst to me, that shop is more of a destination for Magic the Gathering, and when I went in looking for Lorcana, they sent me to Gold Star Collectibles. This shop is a treasure! I'm not in the Sacramento area often, but whenever I am, I have to stop by to check out their selection of Pokemon and Lorcana cards. I find this store to be well stocked, and the employees are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about their product. It's a little hard to find the store, as the windows seem to be always covered up. Parking is plentiful, although the turning in and out of this parking lot is a little sketch as it's on a major road. But it's all worth the risk! I've never walked out of here empty handed, and I have no regrets :)

On a Friday afternoon I decided to check out Delta R/C, which on a good day is a 35-40 min drive from Oakland. Expectations were not high as their website seemed outdated, didn't list current info about events, and they had no online storefront. However, I was more than shocked by what I saw when I arrived: Largest brick/mortar store I have found, extensive parts department, indoor track and micro crawler course onsite (more race courses across street at fairgrounds). Staff was friendly, esp. Kristin at the front register. Also, found out about some events next day that I attended (just wish it was on website). I think Delta will become my 'home hobbyshop' but just wish they had an online store so I could peruse their inventory before making the 40+ min drive.
